Hey guys,
I need an idea on how a certain hobgoblin warchief would react.
Up to a year ago, this tribe was at war with several other tribes (orc, ogre, goblin) in the Valley, up to a moment when Angel visited the warchiefs of these tribes. He united them, they agreed on peace and time of prosperity came for the tribes.
Then Evil cultists kidnapped angel. They hid him in an underground dungeon nearby the Valley and demanded for the warchiefs to start raiding human villages and get them slaves. Slaves were eventually sacrificed to Dark god and that would boost the Evil cults' power.
Now warchiefs dared not attack the Cultist stronghold in fear of Cultists killing the angel, but tribes attacked the villages and got many hundred humans to be sacrificed.
A while ago a band of powerful adventurers entered the Valley. Ogres, orcs and goblins ambushed them thrice, suffering great casualties every time. Tribes did that, because they expected for the adventurers to be killed swiftly, also, Evil cultists might kill the Angel if they got wind of tribes letting adventurers to live.
Adventurers however, are pretty much alive. They have little clue of what is actually happening in the valley, but they have slain about 200 orcs, goblins and ogres so far.
In our last session, they reached hogoblin tribe. Hobgoblin warchief, aware of the slaughter they did in other ambushes, still launched a limited attack on them (30 warriors), but only 2 survived.
Now, adventurers did try to communicate with the tribe. (Rogue generously offered them "to surrender").
I guess after adventurers have proven to be able to kill many dozens of enemies and tribes being unable to kill them, hobgoblin warchief might be willing to do something other then just send wave after wave of his underlings toward them.
What is for a warchief to do, /tg/, taken into account that Cultists still have the Angel captive and he is afraid they might kill him?
thanks
PS: Metagame-wise, angel permanently Charmed all the warchiefs.
